Jamie O'Hara has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United and their handling of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's sacking.
Solskjaer was dismissed on Sunday morning after the humiliating 4-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road.
Hours later, the Red Devils posted an interview with the Norwegian on their official website, where he reflected on his time as manager the club.
The interview is almost unprecedented for a manager who has just been relieved of their duties and has received a mixed response from the football world.
Some believe the interview gave United great Solskjaer a dignified end to his journey, while others criticised the club's decision to speak to him in such circumstances.
Former Tottenham midfielder O'Hara is among the fiercest critics.
O'Hara compared the manner of Solskjaer's departure with Chelsea's ruthless removal of club legend Frank Lampard and questioned United's decision.
“No one wants to see someone lose their job,” he told talkSPORT.
“He’s a good a guy and you want to see people do well, he was out of his depth.
“But come on, what’s that [the interview], what are they doing? I mean you don’t see Chelsea doing this with Frank Lampard.
“Frank Lampard is a way bigger legend at the football club than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is at Manchester United.
“Chelsea got rid of Frank Lampard, brought in [Thomas] Tuchel, won the Champions League, statement, we’re moving on, thanks Frank, we’re moving on.
“What is this? You’ve just sacked him [Solskjaer], he’s not been good enough.
"Manchester United are miles off it, he’s paid to do a job to get the best out of the team and he hasn’t done it.”
In his farewell interview, Solskjaer explained that he was 'honoured and 'privileged' to have managed the club he loves so dearly.
"You know what this club means to me and what I wanted to achieve here," he said.
"For the club, for the fans, for the players, for the staff. I wanted us to take the next step to challenge for the league, to win trophies and I only think it’s right that it comes from the horse’s mouth.
"This club means everything to me and together we’re a good match, but unfortunately I couldn’t get the results we needed and it’s time for me to step aside.”
Since sacking Solskjaer, United have put Michael Carrick in charge of the Champions League visit to Villarreal.
United are effectively on the hunt for two new managers after confirming the plan to hire an interim boss before making a decision on a full-time manager at the end of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag and Brendan Rodgers have been rumoured as the leading candidates for the Old Trafford hot seat.
